Mihos, (Republican) former candidate for Mass. governor, under investigation for domestic abuse
Yarmouth Police last night said they have begun an investigation into former Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Christy P. Mihos regarding two possible incidents of domestic violence.
In a statement, Yarmouth Police said they are working with the Martin County Sheriff’s Department in Florida to investigate two alleged incidents that occurred in the last year. The first, police said, allegedly occurred July 7 in West Yarmouth, where the 62-year-old Mihos lives in a gated home on Great Island with his wife, Andrea. The second incident allegedly occurred Monday in Stuart, Fla.

He is known across Massachusetts as a quirky public figure and gained a reputation as a political renegade in the late 1990s as a dissenting member of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority board. Mihos’s criticism of the management of the Big Dig project caused Jane Swift, then acting governor, to remove him from the board.
Mihos returned to the political limelight in 2006 when he ditched the Republican Party and ran for governor as an independent. He used nearly $4 million of his own money in his campaign, but still lost. He then returned to the Republican Party and was considered a serious contender for the GOP nomination in 2010, but his second gubernatorial campaign was mired by financial wrongdoings, and he failed to earn enough support to qualify for the primary ballot.
